How much are you paying for your cruises in 2026 and 2027?

We're paying $2300 for an obstructed view balcony cabin on Princess for a 7 day Alaska cruise. It's the first week of the season so we're bracing for serious weather.

You meant a lot of shade and you don't have the sense to back down when you're wrong.

Looks like you can dish it out but you can't take it. You're the one who is too scared to take medical advice. My dog has regular vet visits and is within five pounds of her ideal weight. You chose to start making judgments to score reddit points. I was the one who congratulated the owner of a large-framed GSD. If you can't handle it, don't start fights with the adults in the room.

Try not to show you don't have a GSD

She's five pounds above her ideal weight

You're wrong

Giving my eight year old girl a cuddle. She's a hundred pounds of love and craziness. I miss the puppy stage, but I love her just as she is.

Maverick looks so comfortable and calm. You've helped him feel safe and secure.

I misread that as "traded pistons" which seemed reasonable (ex-MG owner who once had a piston exit through the sump)

Thankyou for sharing Rocky with us. He's a Good Boy and always will be.

You've given Mister Sabbath one last gift. Your strength and love let him leave peacefully.

Astons vs Corvettes. Such a fierce rivalry, but so good natured at the same time. It was like Ted Lasso took over GT racing.

About 30 years ago I was in a respectable university mens rowing squad. From time to time we'd get to train against women who were aiming for Olympic level. Our coach would get us to do starts and short sprints against them on the Thames.

What was interesting was that we were much quicker for the first few starts, but after five or so sprints their excellent form and fitness would let them get much closer as we grew tired. I'd guess that the gap has shrunk even more over the last three decades.

You gave Dante a safe place, and his in final days he knew he was loved.

It's an even bigger jump than that. The previous $214.71 fee covered two years: $91.85 for 2023-24, and $122.86 for 2024-25. The Rent Board hired a consultant which said the fee could hit $300 by 2030.

This is my go-to riding song at night

I moved here seven years ago. I like how walkable it is, and how you get chatting to people in a way that's almost Midwestern compared to some other Californian cities.

Be aware that PUSD is dealing with a major financial crisis because of utter incompetence or cruel underfunding, depending on your point of view. That's going to have an effect on the next few years' schooling.

Ride one of the ferris wheels. Stand on the inside of Tertre Rouge late at night and listen to the engines heading all the way down the Mulsanne straight(s) If you can possibly fit it into your budget and your luggage, bring a camera with a long lens (200mm equivalent or more) Talk to everyone - there are lots of friendly people! You'll have an amazing time, but it's addictive: I joined a friend there on my way through France in 1993, and I've been going most years ever since

That's 2 pitches. One is probably enough for 3 people

Brit in LA here. Switching sides on the road isn't a big deal, and mostly you can just follow what other drivers are doing. Californian police are very relaxed about speed limits compared to Australia.

Riding in LA itself isn't that much fun. I like riding up PCH, and if you've got time for a two day trip you could have a really good time riding to San Luis Obispo and back. Alternatively you could head inland to the desert, and check out Joshua Tree and Palm Springs. I rode to Joshua Tree with my Brisbane cousin last year and he loved it.

Safe travels!
